This says that the average private highschool tuition is $15,645.

In 2003, the average private highschool tuition was $8,412 (Snyder, Dillow, & Hoffman, 2008), or $14,079 (in today's dollars).

Please correct me if I've made some mistake, but plugging those numbers in shows that the annualized real increase in price is 0.5% per year over 20 years.

The first bullet says: “$23,839 is the average annual tuition among the nation’s private K-12 schools.”
